iDRAC Remote Flea Drain Procedure:

Note: These steps simulate having AC power removed from the system; DO NOT send an FE to site for a Flea Drain.

  1. Log in to the iDRAC console.

  2. Go to Configuration.

  3. Click BIOS Settings.
    iDRAC UI BIOS settings menu

  4. Scroll and select Miscellaneous Settings.
    Miscellaneous Settings

  5. Select Power Cycle Request.

  6. Change the value to Full Power Cycle.

  7. Click  Apply and Reboot to proceed with the remote flea drain.

  8. Monitor the job cycle using the virtual console.

    NOTE: iDRAC connection is lost during the remote flea drain.

    This can also be done using the following RACADM CLI commands:

    racadm set BIOS.MiscSettings.PowerCycleRequest FullPowerCycle
racadm jobqueue create BIOS.Setup.1-1
reboot

Alternative: Manual Flea Drain Procedure:

Note: Dell Support: DO NOT send a Field Engineer to site to perform these actions - customer must make their own arrangements to do these steps.
  1. Power the Data Domain down gracefully.
  2. Disconnect the server from all power and network cables.
  3. Hold down the power button continuously for at least 10 s.
  4. Insert power and network cables back to the system.
  5. Wait 2 minutes before powering on the server to give the iDRAC time to initialize.
  6. Power the system on.
